FISHERS OF MKN-TAI 



This sea food is captured in vast quantities by means of nets. When the fish has reached 

 an advanced stage of decomposition, it forms the basis of a favorite Korean dish called 

 "kimshi," which, when seasoned with onion, garlic, and red pepper, is a rare delight for the 

 Korean epicure.

The huge brown sails do not supply sufficient motive power to overcome the swift current 

 of the stream. From seven to eight weeks are required to tow the boats from the west coast 

 to the head of navigation, and only one and a half round trips can be made in a season before 

 winter sets in and ice blocks the stream (see page 48).
